A CAMPAIGN to tackle hunger, called Enough Food for Everyone IF, was launched in Bristol by campaigners from charities and leaders from faith and community groups.

The group claims that hunger and malnutrition in childhood will trap almost a billion young people in poverty by 2025.
The Right Reverend Mike Hill, Bishop of Bristol, said: "The fact that one in eight people around the world still go to bed hungry every night even though there is enough food for everyone, is a scandal.

“How ironic that the organic food (created - no surprise - by Jorian Jenks, a member of the British Union of Fascists*) Soil Association is supporting this, when it is proven that were we to abandon chemical pesticides and go fully organic, we would only produce enough food for 3 Billion people.
Google organic food can't feed the world for sources.
*Fascism, organic foods, earth worship and environmentalism have always been part of the same oligarchical cult, hence Prince Phillip and his Waffen SS Officer cousin Prince Bernard of the Netherlands created the World Wildlife Fund.
Sorry, but you people are useful idiots and making things worse. We could feed 28-35 Billion people (with current technology and the political will) were the IMF, World Bank and WWF not doing everything they can to stop the industrial development of the 3rd worlds agricultural business's. Even Australia's production and irrigation has been ruined by environmentalist policies: http://tinyurl.com/yfdnett”
